They were again walking and looking for people in distress to help them when they felt.
They stopped and looked toward the Great Plateau, confused and scared. That was impossible! The heroes are dead! They failed in their mission, and now Hyrule was condemned to pass an age of pain and suffering to the living. There's no way the heroes can return in 'mere' 100 years!
But no matter how many hours they watched the Great Plateau from afar, waiting for the feeling to fade, the presence of the Divine Beast's chosen wasn't shaken at all. In fact, it got stronger over time.
Almost as if the Hybrid-Gerudo refused to perish again.
They couldn't believe, the Fallen Heroes are coming back to life? After all that happened? Not reincarnating, but rising from the dead? That seemed too good to be true, too strange even to them.
So they waited, standing around and eagerly waiting for the Fallen Heroes to leave. They waited, feeling the presence of the other heroes appear some time later, each awakening at their own pace, as if the awakening of the first hero slowly awakened the others. They waited, feeling the Fallen Heroes' presence clash or pull away without realizing how close they were to meeting. They waited...
... Until the last hero awakens and the Sheikah Towers rise from the earth.
It wasn't long after that, maybe a week or two, until the Fallen Heroes glided down from the Great Plateau to the ground. Hidden from their eyes, the patient observer analyzed the Fallen Heroes' reaction, surprised to see that they didn't seem sad or sorry, but rather curious and surprised by the place. As if it were the first time the Fallen Heroes had been seeing the world.
And when the Fallen Heroes came together to talk about the situation, the observer realized.
They were the heroes, but although they aren't reincarnated, they aren't the Fallen Heroes.
They noticed now, watching the heroes interact with each other. The heroes' essences are very similar to those of the Fallen Heroes, but their presences have their own unique characteristics. Not just the presence, but the attitudes and personalities themselves are similar and different from the Fallen Heroes. The Young-Goron was grunting and grumbling instead of shouting and threatening his teammates. The Zora Boy was neither depressed nor annoyingly excited, just curious as he thought about what to do. The Strange Rite was cold and quiet, looking at everything suspiciously as if at any moment something was going to attack him, but relaxed a little after the Hybrid-Gerudo said something, that, though somewhat concerned, he's seemed genuinely happy and relaxed.
And the Hero-Hylian...
... Link was talking.
Not just head movements or small hand gestures, but really speaking. Saying what he thought and asking his group about their opinion, and even after deciding to move on, the Hero-Hylian sometimes turned to his companions to talk or comment on something he found interesting.
... These heroes ... These young boys ...
... They don't know anything.
The heroes may even think they know something, but they have no idea who they are or what is coming.
These heroes aren't prepared to carry the weight the Fallen Heroes carried on their backs.
The new heroes will destroy themselves, as the Fallen Heroes destroyed themselves.
...
... Unless someone helps them.
Maybe that was crazy, maybe they shouldn't get in the way of the new heroes, but honestly? Hyrule is in chaos, and if the new heroes continue like this, they will fail like the Fallen Heroes, and the observer wasn't at all interested in whether Hyrulpe could get even worse after a second failure of the chosen heroes.
For them it was worth risking. If the new heroes fail anyway, it would not be for lack of attempt.
The observer started to approach, but stopped when they noticed the Hybrid-Gerudo shudder and beging tense, glancing around quickly and catching the attention of the rest of the group. Right. The hybrid hero was very empathic, they had forgotten that.
They needed to be more discreet...
... And maybe they needed their help.
Decided, the observer turned away from the new heroes, just for now, to begin their plan. They wouldn't let the new heroes make the same mistakes the Fallen Heroes did. They would make the new heroes learn that they don't have to carry all the weight of the world on their backs alone. They will try to make the chosen heroes enjoy life, so maybe they will become heroes ... No. Better people.
And as they rushed to warn them about the new heroes and tell the plan they had made, a spark of a long lost feeling began to warm their chest ...
... A one last hope.
